“One Location, One Lesson, One Lens with André Costantini (ep. 5)
Photographer Andre Costantini heads to Iceland with his new 28-75mm Di III RXD Sony Full-Frame Mirrorless lens.“
One can guess that for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the tallest lens in the line up is a fast, super telephoto zoom for fast-moving subjects from a distance, such as motor sport and wildlife photography. Maybe, another wide-angle lens will have a lower f/stop – larger aperture – less depth of field, in comparison to the above lenses, for nighttime shooting and astrophotography.
